Must have list for baby newbies

[TiCtOc]

Hi Tic,
We travel a lot with our kids, and when they were infants, we found the PeaPod travel bed worked out the best for us. It is so lightweight and folds up really compact, unlike the bulkier pack n play cribs, and I love that it can also be used on the beach for nap time. It has a mesh material on the sides which protects the baby from bugs and will keep a crawling baby safely confined at night. You can find them pretty cheap on Ebay or Craigslist if you don't mind getting a used one.

Here is a link to see what one looks like: http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/...oductId=536932

I would also make sure to pack enough baby sunblock, a sun hat, and some powdered Pedialyte to keep baby well hydrated. I also always pack some infant/child tylenol and benadryl just in case. And, of course you already know about the other baby necessities like diapers, wipes, bottles, pacis, etc.

that bed is EXACTLY what baby needs very cool Thank you

I second the PeaPod. It worked great for us when we took our 10 month old to Mexico.

Great thread! We are taking our 8 month old in April. We have a pea pod as well that we bought for this trip. Walgreens 60.00 online. Plenty big. I would also suggest looking at the Lilly Gold Sit N Stroll. It is a stroller that folds into a car seat as well. Can also be used for a booster seat for feedings. You can use it in the airport and check it for free at the gate!

We have been also looking at the Phil and Teds Traveller. It is small enough to fit in luggage but pretty pricey.
